Kayben Farms makes a great black currant juice and they're based in Okotoks. I'm sure you can find some at a retailer near you. www.kayben.com/prairiefruit.html should give you some more info. By the way, what are Hot Balzams....?

Thank you for the fine detail - this should make it much easier to find. Whenever i asked for Black Currant juice, i got quite the vacant look.

As for Hot Balzams...ahhh :) It's a drink made from Riga Black Balsams, an herbal liqueur from Latvia. Hot Balzams is a variation i had in Riga over Xmas - they mixed Black Balzams with Black Currant juice and fresh fruit, served it hot. It cured the cold i'd had for 3 weeks within the day. Probably a placebo, but it's really tasty too, so it can't hurt :)

Sam Wok was the Hong Kong style diner that shared the same complex (former Strathcona Chinatown Mall) as Planet Organic on the south side. I was told that it's only the south location that is closing - something about that building being demo'd and something new being built there. This is all second hand info, so you may want to verify yourself.

are you referring to the one by Doan's & save on foods at 7917 104th Street? i am surprised that they are demoing that building it seems very new to me. glad to hear the downtown location will stay open.
